Maj. Nidal Hasan, who admitted to killing 13 people in a 2009 shooting rampage at the Army base at Fort Hood, Texas, was found guilty Friday of 13 counts of premeditated murder — a verdict that makes him eligible for the death penalty.

He was also convicted, by a military jury, of 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

I'm torn about the death penalty. I think it would be a lot worse to make him sit in his shitty diapers for the rest of his life, but the death penalty would send the message I think people are expecting.

That's still death, even if by his own hand. At this point, he's lived in diapers for nearly 4 years. He's accepted it as his fate. No way Obama signs his death warrant. Having the American/Christian swine change his diapers for him doesn't seem so much a punishment as a revenge, when I put myself in his shoes.

At this point, it's not about punishing him. It's about dissuading similar crimes in the future. What we need is a list of things that those fitting his profile would hate the most, and make him have to experience those things -publicly, if possible- in random succession until his natural death.

(edit) On the other hand, part of me just thinks we should give his brain a fast lead injection and be done with it.

Alas, living in a "civilized" society, your options are severely limited.
